Rear brake sticking

So I was bleeding all the brakes today and on the last one, the bleeder screw broke off in the caliper. I ended up just getting a reman'd caliper from Advance and replaced it, but now it's sticking and heating up my rotor and smelling. Did I get a bad caliper or what could be the cause?

Re: Rear brake sticking

It's possible. 1G rears are especially prone to sticking, I'd bring it back for an exchange.
